Chapter 1416 A Warm Invitation from Philadelphia (Part [-])
It has been three days since Lan Shengli returned to the United States. During these three days, it can be said that he has been very busy.

Because Lan Shengli is hurrying up to prepare for the Clippers interview that may come at any time.

"I'm the general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers -- Sam Hinkie~"

At this juncture, the 76ers general manager Hinkie made a phone call, which made Lan Shengli no longer in the mood to prepare for the interview.

"Our 76ers have already fired the previous head coach. The 76ers are willing to cooperate with Coach Blue~!!, the team is willing to hire you as the head coach for the new season~"

Sinki said succinctly and directly.

"Whoa, whoa, honestly, to hear you say that, I feel like a dream, lol~, 76ers~, so~, you really are the general manager of the 76ers, Sam · Xinji~?!"

Such a simple, clear and very direct invitation already made Lan Shengli do not know how to respond, and it was even unmatched.

"Haha~, since you said that, then I think it's more necessary for us to meet~, how about~?!, I'm in Los Angeles now~"

Hinkie immediately responded with a smile.

"I~, I really didn't expect that the 76ers would,,, think of me like this~, so I was a little overwhelmed for a while~, but I,,,,, of course I hope to return to the NBA Coaching, that is my wish, so I am very grateful to the 76ers for giving me the opportunity, I think it is necessary for us to meet~”

Lan Shengli still stammered.

"Okay~ I'll give you the address, we'll see you later~"

Hinkie responded.

"76ers, haha~, this world is really crazy~"

Lan Shengli hung up the phone and immediately shook his head and sighed.

If this call came from Lakers general manager Kupchak, maybe Lan Shengli would not be so surprised. After all, the Lakers have communicated with Lan Shengli before, but after all, the 76ers have never had any contact with Lan Shengli. Any contact, and that's when Hinkie called.

Of course Lan Shengli was very excited.

Soon, the two met in a hotel room in Los Angeles.

"Have you had a good offseason~?!"

Hinkie asked.

Although he doesn't look very old, Hinkie's sharp eyes and bald hairstyle make people think that this person is full of wisdom and is an elite.

"Busy and busy, but I haven't found a job~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"No, no, I don't think you're busy in vain~"

Hinkie spoke immediately.

"First of all, you have completed the important event in your life. After all, you must first start a family and then start a career~ Only with a stable and reliable family as your backing can you achieve greater success in your career~ This is the first, and the second, I I believe that after you have a lover and start a family, your own sense of responsibility will definitely increase. If you want to change your family with better living conditions, you need money. The head coach of an NBA team is the most profitable job~”

Hinkie continued.

Hinkie's speech ability does not seem to be inferior to that of Lan Shengli.

"I just heard that you are a very leadership and friendly general manager. I didn't expect that your eloquence is so good~"

Lan Shengli listened, shook his head and sighed.

"Because I like to tell the truth and say what people want to hear. These two points seem to be contradictory, but they are not contradictory~ Or you can understand that I can always find the good things in people~ This is a very important thing~ "

Hinkie said.

"Let's get down to business~ In addition to starting a family, you went to lead your motherland's men's basketball team to the Olympics. I think this is undoubtedly a kind of sublimation for you~ Although I don't know, but I always feel that this Olympic Games The trip, for you, is definitely a very big improvement~"

Hinkie continued to praise.

Lan Shengli was too embarrassed to interrupt this kind of endless praise.

"With the previous three years of NBA coaching experience, the support of a stable family, and the background of Olympic coaching, I believe that you now have the ability to accept greater challenges~ I'm right, right? ~?!"

Xin Ji asked with that very seductive expression.

"That's right~, that's right~, haha~"

Lan Shengli, who was already a little dumbfounded, could only respond with a silly smile and nod.

"So, what I want to know is, what is the 76ers looking for in me~?!"

"What is the current and future development direction of the 76ers team~?!"

"What does the management think of me~?!"

Lan Shengli quickly regained his composure, and asked three consecutive questions.

"I think since you, the general manager, have already found me, then your management should have carefully studied the possibility of me being the team's head coach~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"That's right, let me explain to you one by one~"

Xinji listened and immediately nodded in response.

"First of all, I want to ask Coach Blue, do you understand the series of operations of the 76ers this summer~?!"

Xinji asked back first.

"I don't know much about the personnel changes in the management. I only know that you sent the potential guard Holiday to New Orleans, and then got a lottery pick, and chose the black insider Nerlens Noelle~, and the others are not. It's very clear~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Not only Holiday, but also Lou Williams, Iguodala and other capable players were all sent away by the team, and what they got in exchange were basically draft picks, and they were high-ranking draft picks. ~"

Xin Ji said in a low voice suddenly.

"So, the 76ers are ready to tear down and rebuild~?!"

Lan Shengli listened and asked immediately.

"That's right, after running with the team over the past few seasons, the team's management has realized one thing, that is, if a team with extraordinary talents cannot be impatient, it will be difficult to have a real chance to compete for the championship. champion~"

Shinji said in a firm tone.

"Instead of being in a position where you can only be a playoff team, why not try to be like the Thunder or the Clippers, after several years of accumulation, select some talented young people, and then Cultivate a team with the strength of a championship, maybe in this way we can take greater opportunities and a faster way to win the championship~”

Xinji continued to speak seriously.

"It takes a lot of risk to play poorly~ These team managements and team owners have thought about it~?!"

Lan Shengli asked immediately.

"Don't worry, every word and every word I said is the result of careful consideration with the team management ~!"

Hinkie nodded, responding.
